/**
* PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO - Extract the error code from a pointer if it has one.
* @ptr: A potential error pointer.
*
* Convenience function that can be used inside a function that returns
* an error code to propagate errors received as error pointers.
* For example, ``return PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(ptr);`` replaces:
*
* .. code-block:: c
*
* if (IS_ERR(ptr))
* return PTR_ERR(ptr);
* else
* return 0;
*
* Return: The error code within @ptr if it is an error pointer; 0 otherwise.
